Good day, Clary. No, not SOUTH America.

Hint: A harbinger of spring is the blossom of the crab apple tree, and how ironic that one cannot eat a crab apple. I know, because I have tried.

Letty, google gives me this after submitting "crabtree US":

The Crabtree Falls Trail features a series of five cascades and a number of smaller ones that fall a total distance of 1,200 feet. Please be aware that this is a fee area. For current fee information, please check the current fee schedule.

The trail provides views of the falls from overlooks constructed to accent the beauty of the valley. The first overlook is just 700 feet from the lower parking lot, making it an excellent stopover for travelers. The more adventuresome hiker may continue to other overlooks, to Crabtree Meadows where the trail ends, or to the Appalachian Trail, which is just one half mile beyond Crabtree Meadows.

The peak season for viewing the waterfalls is from winter through spring, when the water is high. Although the water flow is lower during the remainder of the year, the trail is still popular.

Good hiking boots or comfortable shoes are recommended. During the winter, the trail may be covered with ice and should be traveled with extreme caution.

Crabtree Falls Trail is in the Blue Ridge Mountains off State Route 56, a narrow winding State Highway in Nelson Coundy. It may also be reached via State Route 826, a dirt road recommended for four-wheel drive or high-axle vehicles only.

The statue looks European, but the building looks Asian. Far East?

Southern half of the East Coast, Dutchy? In other words, as far south as Florida?

About in the centre, perhaps slightly north of the halway-mark of the east-coast.

If your statue is in Virginia, Dutchy, I will really feel nonplussed. Is the statue below or above Virginia?
